Mycosis fungoides and occupational exposures. Is there an association?
In a case-control study, the author and coinvestigators found no positive association between occupational or chemical exposures and the risk of mycosis fungoides. Thus, there was no support for the hypothesis that chronic antigenic stimulation is an etiologic factor in this disease.
